Welcome in Different Languages

I am sure that at one point or the other we must have been friends or the least must have known people who speak a language other than the language we speak. Well, I had many. And since English is world's local language, I assume that it would be a little difficult for people to converse, whose first language is not English. Though with time and practice it becomes better than before. Wouldn't it be nice if we could know few simpler words to greet them. It will not only be friendly but also will be welcoming for them. Why not take the word 'welcome' for that matter. Let's see how to say welcome in different languages.

Language is beautiful. And it is more beautiful when people speak it. Language is as vivid and distinct as the stars in the galaxy. It must be respected. Language is used to express oneself. It is not practically possible learning different languages for a person, and by different I mean say more than 10 different languages. The least we can do is learn few sentiments in different languages. I've got a couple of friends who proposed to their partners by expressing their love in different languages. Hope this piece on saying 'welcome' in different languages will be useful. Adiós!
